Production Notes

Piquette is the original drink of grape-farmers and workers in France and across much of the grape-growing areas of Europe.  While not technically wine, it is an amazing, recycled product.  Typically after pressing for our regular wines we would have discarded the grape skins however this year we found a way to reuse them. We soaked the leftover grape-skins in water and after a few days, we fermented the mixture on skins.  Before fermentation was complete, we pressed the skins again, let it settle briefly and then bottled so that we trapped a light spritz in bottle.

Tasting Notes

The combination of grapes we used here gave us bright, tropical aromas with heaps of pineapple, mango, passionfruit, guava, lemon and orange layered over lightly spicy cinnamon, nutmeg and funky, yeasty aromas. On the palate, a lime zest and grilled pineapple front gives way to bright, lemon acidity on the finish. Bright yellow, cloudy and super-refreshing it’s like if hard-seltzer, Pet Nat and heritage-cider had a child! Light in alcohol (only 5.5%), just chill until ice-cold and enjoy with people you like…or even those you don’t!

Shiping

When it comes to shipping, our goal is to find the fastest and most reliable shipping option available to us. During the Covid pandemic, we have made significant changes with our delivery partners to serve you better.

For Toronto deliveries we primarily use Fil Delivery. They have been tremendous and we have had glowing reviews from customers. They update you on the expected delivery time throughout the day to ensure satisfaction. Deliveries leave the winery Mondays and Thursdays for delivery Tuesdays and Fridays.

For deliveries to Hamilton, Burlington and Niagara, winery staff often deliver same day or next. We aim to please as often as possible!

ICS is also used for Major Centers other than Toronto and local. Their delivery times are typically next day from pick up at the winery on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Out of province and small-town Ontario deliveries are packaged appropriately with slow-release heat packs in winter reduce breakage and freezing through CanPar. We review shipping daily to identify issues before they arise. We do our best to help communicate any issues in advance to get the wine to you as quickly as possible.

We offer free shipping to anywhere in Ontario with purchase of 6 bottles or more. Purchases of less than 6 bottles can be accommodated for $10 flat rate. Please call the winery to arrange.

Out or province rates are as follows:

All other provinces: $25 flat rate

Returns

We believe in simplicity, so our refund policy is simple and to the point.

  • If you’d like to return an unopened bottle of wine, we’ll gladly do so for you. No questions asked.
  • If there is a problem with the wines (either a fault or it is not to your liking - which happens very irregularly), we happily provide a credit for the full amount on another bottle at the winery. For delivered wine, we issue a credit to be applied to your next purchase.
  • Our goal is to make you happy and if there is anything that we can do to maximize your enjoyment of a Leaning Post Wine... we will do it.
